Oct. 10: Immigration Relief for those Impacted by Unforeseen Circumstances
Sept. 27: USCIS Increases Employment Authorization Document Validity Period for
Certain Categories
Sept. 21: DHS Announces Extension and Redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary
Protected Status
Sept. 1: USCIS Reminds Parolees and Asylees that They May be Eligible to Apply

USCIS recognizes that unforeseen circumstances, such as the situation in Israel,
and the Oct. 7 earthquake in Afghanistan, may affect your ability to respond to
information requests related to your USCIS application, petition, or immigration
request. If you cannot submit evidence or respond to a notice or request in a
timely manner for reasons directly tied to an unforeseen circumstance, you may
show how the disrupting event affected your ability to appear for an interview
or submit documents as required. Additionally, if certain immigration documents
were damaged, destroyed, or lost, you may request expedited processing to
replace those documents.

Please review our Immigration Relief in Emergencies or Unforeseen
Circumstances page for further information.

We are updating guidance in the Policy Manual to increase the maximum validity
period to 5 years for initial and renewal Employment Authorization Documents
(EADs) for certain noncitizens who are employment authorized incident to status
or circumstance, including those admitted as refugees, paroled as refugees, and
granted asylum, as well as recipients of withholding of removal.

We are also increasing the maximum validity period to 5 years for initial and
renewal EADs for certain noncitizens who must apply for employment
authorization, including applicants for asylum or withholding of removal,
adjustment of status under INA 245, and suspension of deportation or
cancellation of removal.

Period for Certain Categories.

On Sept. 20, 2023, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas
announced an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela for 18
months, and a redesignation of the country for TPS. The redesignation will
become effective on the date announced in an upcoming Federal Register notice.
Only individuals who were already residing in the United States on or before
July 31, 2023, will be eligible for TPS under this redesignation.

For additional information, please see the news release.

Close this box

You are likely eligible to apply for an employment authorization document (EAD)
to legally work in the United States if:

 * You were recently paroled into the United States and that parole remains
   valid; or
 * You have applied for asylum and that application has been pending for at
   least 150 days.

If you have not already started the EAD application process, you can begin here
by creating a USCIS account online and filing Form-I-765. USCIS will mail your
EAD to the address you provided in your application if your application is
approved. If necessary, you can file a paper application for Form I-765 instead.
